It's a 3-peat for Booth in showmanship.

by Patti Hurtgen, Hoard's Dairyman Online Media Manager

While 288 youth participated in the 2013 World Dairy Expo Youth Showmanship Contest at World Dairy Expo, only one exhibitor has won his division for the past three years in a row. Eleven-year old Cole Booth bested his 9-year-old sister, Ava, to three-peat in 2013. The pair hail from Plymouth, Wis., and both showed Red and White calves. As the first place junior division winner, Cole was awarded the W. Terry Howard Award.
